Copyediting and proofreading

Before my first novel went to print, my publisher advised me to get a final proofreader/editor to read it. As the script had gone through the mill a couple of times before, I didn’t think much more work would be needed. When I got my manuscript back from Angela, I was shocked to realise it wasn’t just a couple of typos here and there as I’d imagined. She had done a huge job, and the result was a much better script that I proudly presented to my publisher. So, from the bottom of my heart, a big Thank You to Angela. I warmly recommend her to other writers.

Angela Bissell is a true gem of a copyeditor. With an eagle-eyed focus on detail coupled with skillful attention to context and nuance, she embraced my manuscript and lifted it to the next level. I’ll be forever grateful to Angela for her guidance, professionalism, and gracious manner. I hope to work with her throughout my book series.

This was my first experience of collaborating with an editor and what an excellent choice! Angela is an absolute delight to work with. I learnt so much from her thorough and kind approach to editing. Her explanations were always clear. I appreciated how much her suggestions honoured my author voice too. It’s uncanny how well she could read my mind. I definitely recommend Angela to any author who wants the best for their manuscript.

Working with Angela is always an enriching experience. She’s an editor who is fully committed to her clients, helping craft the best possible stories with a keen eye for detail, while still respecting the author’s voice and creativity. She’s prompt and easy to work with, and her editing expertise and seasoned background as a successful author with a demanding publishing house are a killer combination for polishing a manuscript.

I found Angela to be an exceptional editor to work with. I had trialled a number of freelance editors previously and the editing process with Angela was by far the smoothest I have ever experienced. From my first communication with her she was friendly and professional, and the standard of her edit exceeded my expectations. She did a fabulous job of correcting mistakes, improving readability and enhancing the story while still respecting my author voice. Her editorial report where she analysed different aspects of my writing was thorough and astute, and it will be an incredible professional development tool for me going forward. I highly recommend Angela to anyone who wants to release the best version of their book possible.
